Orders of several lengths will always be cut continuously, unless instructed otherwise.
An absolute gem of a fabric. This Linen Crepe is woven from high-twist linen yarn, giving it a gently crinkled texture and soft drape. The light grey-beige tone and open weave create a cloth that is both airy and elegant — perfect for warm-weather garments and unique home textiles.
The Fabric
Lightweight, breathable, and soft, this cloth has an almost gossamer feel while remaining strong and structured. The twist in the yarn adds a gentle texture, which enhances drape and movement. This fabric is especially beautiful for garments that need flow: think skirts, dresses, blouses, scarves, and curtains that move with the breeze.

The Environment
Linen is a low-impact, sustainable fibre. Flax grows with little water and thrives in poor soil. Every part of the flax plant is used—from textiles to varnish—making it one of the most resource-efficient fibres available.
Health & Comfort
100% linen is breathable, antibacterial, and excellent for sensitive skin, especially in hot weather. It helps regulate temperature and is often favoured by those prone to prickly heat or hot flushes. Lightweight, cooling, and naturally hypoallergenic.
Care
Linen doesn’t need ironing — its natural creasing becomes part of the look. With every wash, it becomes softer and more supple. Unlike cotton, it is more durable and long-lasting, with strength that increases when wet. Hang to dry dripping wet for best results.
